Poet and didn't know it

[vvvexation]

The following thought drifted through my head during lunch today, and it wasn't until a moment later that I realized I'd composed an inadvertent haiku:

The chicken is good--
I should have grabbed more of that
and less of the rice.

(I didn't say it was a particularly interesting thought.)

Love the haiku. It really captures the moment well, which is what haiku is supposed to do, right?

Since much of my daily thinking (probably most of it) is woven around food, I might as well take your lead and make something creative out of it.

This salad bar rocks -
Why don't they put more tofu
and less cabbage, though?

But vegetarians eat vegetables, right?

The cafeteria where I work actually had dolmas on the salad bar the other day. Not a whole plate's worth, though, so to justify shelling out six bucks for the salad bar I had to fill the rest of my plate with potato salad, which is still sitting in the fridge only half-eaten. I'm gonna be living off it for weeks at this rate.
